Thanks for all the nice pics you include frequently!
Thanks everyone, my pleasure! More to come from Holmes County, Ohio.
Christina, you should give it a try–you’ll never know til you do! 😉
Hardly a day goes by that I wish I could walk outof this life of TV, electronic gadgets, wars, money, and a host of other insane things we do that the Amish don’t. We don’t “have it made” !! They do.
